SAN FRANCISCO – I won't forget the first time I took a ride in a car without anyone sitting in the driver's seat. It happened one night last September when a Chevy Bolt named Peaches picked me up outside a San Francisco bar. MAYBE DON'T STOP HEREWhen I discussed the incident during an interview for a recent story about robotaxis, Cruise CEO Kyle Vogt apologized and assured me the problem had been fixed. After I landed at JFK Airport, I hopped into an old-fashioned taxi driven by a fellow named Talid. At the end of the ride, Talid dropped me off at Grand Central Terminal, as I had requested.
